A range of dedicated Gate Driver ICs from Texas Instruments suitable for both MOSFET and IGBT applications. The devices are capable of providing suitable high current outputs compatible with the drive requirements of MOSFET and IGBT power devices and are available in a variety of configurations and package types.

The Texas Instruments UC1710 family of FET drivers is made with a high-speed Schottky process to interface between low-level control functions and very high-power switching devices-particularly power MOSFET\x92s. These devices accept low-current digital inputs to activate a high-current, totem pole output which can source or sink a minimum of 6A. Supply voltages for both VIN and VC can independently range from 4.7V to 18V. These devices also feature under-voltage lockout with hysteresis.
